Fast & Furious Live Is Bringing The Movie's Stunts To Life With An All-New Arena Show

The movie series will be transformed into a huge GLOBAL arena tour from January 2018.

Promising to bring to life the eight-film series’ most outrageous stunts, extreme action, futuristic technology, and all our fave cars, this sounds incredible. We’re talking ‘VEHICULAR ACROBATICS’ people – we definitely didn’t see that in the schedule at Rio 2016.

The show will recreating some of the movies most memorable scenes and stunts from the underground street races of LA, to the locations across the planet that the globe-trotting movies have sped into.

It’s being made by the same people who made Top Gear Live, so expect mad driving stunts – with a Fast Family twist, obvs.

“This is set to be the most spectacular live-automotive production in history,” said James Cooke-Priest, executive producer of the show.

Hey, we’ve been ready to join Dom, Letty and co since day one: SIGN US UP for the high-octane action.
